'In accepting this allow me to tender
you my sincere thanks to you for this
generous donation to the Girls Home,
which but poorly expresses my gratitude
to you personally. You have not only
added generous contribution to those
already made, but to me it means much
more. The interest yoH have shown in
the cause and the effort you have made
to secure the money, giving your time
and attention to il, shows how much
you are personally interested in this, the
greatest work we have yet undertaken
in Southern California. Permit me to
thank YOU in the name of the suffering
ones who to-day feel the clouds are
clearing away and the star OF hope
shines so brightly into their darkened
lives, that even now some have arisen
to shake off the chains of sin and despair
that have bound them. The need OF
such home for girls, no class ct our
citizens realizes so much as the officers,
policemen and constables, and to you
especially would / return thanks, not
only for your generous gift to worthy
cause, but for the courtesy and kindness
extended to me in my work for humanity
in every possible way
